1840-1849, VA, Compiled by James W. Blankenship jkblank1(at)sbcglobal.net

West Virginia was the western part of Virginia, after becoming a state the original county names were kept. And later divided to create more counties. For the Area Time Lines, I have put Western Virginia and West Virginia all together in the WV file.
